Whether you are single, married, have children, or no children, I highly recommend Foundations! The basis of Foundations is laid out in the introduction where Ruth is sharing how she was "flustered and angry" from exhaustion from a child who was a horrible sleeper. Ruth shares how she would see "Troy getting out of bed to spend time in the Word", and she asked him "How can you afford to get up and read your Bible? I'm so exhausted and fed up with the lack of sleep!" Troy's gentle answer was "Babe, honestly, I'm not sure if I can afford not to." This is so important because Troy has hit the nail on the head...We desperately need God's Word daily applied to our lives.
Ruth and Troy share 12 foundational truths from God's Word concerning loving God , sin, hiding God's Word in our hearts, being an encourager, thinking of others as God does, etc. Very important truths that every Christ follower needs to hear and apply in our lives. Another favorite quote..."God's Word is not a magic pill that keeps you from sinning. Instead, when we store it up in our hearts, it floods us with truth, filling us up with the gospel's good news melody--so much so that it's the one song we sing." Do you want this to be your "one song"? I encourage to you to get a copy of Foundations and start applying these foundational truths today!...more

Through this relevant book, Ruth encourages us with what “beholding and becoming looks like for those who long to become like Christ”, and invites us to be “transformed, one everyday moment at a time. Particularly encouraging to me, is her wisdom on “doing the next thing”, and how “we have reason to rejoice in the gift of another day.” I highly recommend Beholding and Becoming if you are looking for Biblical encouragement beautifully shared for everyday living!...more
